Drew Carey Defends Medical Marijuana

Looks like
Drew Carey can add another job title to his growing repertoire: medical-marijuana spokesman.

The host of
The Price Is Right and
Power of 10 can be seen in a
video, released on the website Reason.tv on Thursday, arguing the benefits of accessible medical marijuana and voicing his opinions about the government's role in controlling it.

"I think it's clear by now that the federal government needs to reclassify marijuana," Carey says in the video. "People who need it should be able to get it, safely and easily."

Carey also visits an herbal pharmacy in Los Angeles, complete with a "deli-like" counter where customers can purchase many different forms of marijuana, including ice cream and brownies.

"Smell that smell?" Carey asks the camera as he enters the shop. "Smells like freedom."

CBS had no comment about their star's new endorsement. -
